Answers

Answer:

Buhao Construction

a) Debt-to-Equity Ratio if it borrows $220,000

= Debit/Equity

= $220,000/$1,700,000

= 12.94%

b. EPS = $195,800/17,000

= $11.52

c. EPS = $173,800/17,000

= $10.22

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Outstanding Equity = 17,000 shares x $100 = $1,700,000

Interest rate = 11%

It is assumed that Buhao Construction pays no taxes

EBIT = $130,000

Debit = $220,000

Interest Expense = $24,200

Net Income = $195,800 ($220,000 - 24,200)

Debit = $420,000

Interest Expense = $46,200

Net Income = $173,800 ($220,000 - 46,200)

b) Debt-to-Equity Ratio of Buhao Construction is the relationship in ratio terms between debts and equity of the company.  It shows the percentage of debts over the stockholders' equity.

c) EPS or Earnings per share shows the net income of Buhao Construction that can be attributed to each share.  Stockholders use this measure to learn the profits that are generated for each share by the company during the period.  A high EPS indicates that the business is profitable for stockholders.

Concern about possible recession:

E. ​raises; increase; larger

Explanation:

The federal funds rate is a short-term monetary policy tool that the Federal Reserve deploys to control expansionary or recessionary economic conditions.  It is the interest rate that Federal Reserve allows banks with excess to charge other banks that need to borrow to shore up their deficits.  This interest rate is a short-term rate when compared to the long-term interest rates that banks charge consumers of its products and services.  The long-term interest rates are affected by the inflation rates.  

The market has an expected rate of return of 11.4 percent. The current nominal expected yield on U.S. Treasury bills is 4.3 percent. The inflation rate is 2.2 percent. What is the market risk premium? (round answer to whole number with two decimal points: i.e., use 1.23 percent instead of 0.0123)

Answers

Answer:

7.1%

Explanation:

According to the CAPM,

expected market return = risk free rate + market risk premium

11.4% = 4.3% + market risk premium

market risk premium  = 11.4% - 4.3% = 7.1%

Consider the market for minivans (Some would describe a minivan as a family car). Looking at the two statements, which one is true and which one is false? Then again, are they both true or both false? Statement 1: People decide to have fewer children. The demand curve for minivans will shift to the right. Statement 2: The stock market crashes lowering people’s wealth (Hint: Minivan would be considered a normal good). The demand curve for minivans will shift to the right.

Answers

Answer:

both statements are false

Explanation:

if People decide to have fewer children, there would be less demand for minivans as a result the demand curve would shift to the left.

also, if The stock market crashes lowering people’s wealth and minivans are normal goods, the demand for minivans would fall and the demand curve would shift to the left.

A leftward shift signifies a fall in demand while a rightward shift signals a rise in demand

Normal goods are goods that are goods whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls

Explanation:

Depreciation is the loss of value of an asset over its useful life, and because of the accrual principle, this depreciation is matched, as an expense, with the revenues that the asset produces in a specific period of time.

In this case, the company has expensed $17,200 over the computer system useful life. When the computer system was finally discarded, $800, representing the difference between the accumulated depreciation and the original cost of the system, where not expensed. For this reason, this $800 have to be recognized as a loss.

a. Galaxy Sales has sales of $746,700, cost of goods sold of $603,200, and inventory of $94,300. How long on average does it take the firm to sell its inventory

Answers

Answer:

days of inventory on hand if 360 days is used = 360 / 6.396607 = 56.28 days

days of inventory on hand if 365 days is used = 365 / 6.396607 = 57.06 days

Explanation:

We are to determine the days of inventory on hand

days of inventory on hand = number of days in a period / inventory turnover

inventory turnover = cost of goods sold / inventory - $603,200 / $94,300 = 6.396607

days of inventory on hand if 360 days is used = 360 / 6.396607 = 56.28 days

days of inventory on hand if 365 days is used = 365 / 6.396607 = 57.06 days

In addition, DIP paid guaranteed payments to partner Percy of $20,000. If Percy owns a 40% capital and profits interest, how much income will he report for the year and what is its character?

Answers

Answer:

$24,000 ordinary income

$1,600 interest income

$20,000 guaranteed payment.

Explanation:

Calculation for what how much income will Percy report for the year and what is its character

Calculation for Percy Ordinary income: 120,000 - 40,000 - 20,000

= 60,000 x 40%

= 1,600

Guaranteed Payment: 20,000

Therefore what Percy will report will be: $24,000 ordinary income

$1,600 interest income

$20,000 guaranteed payment.

June 27 Sale 8
June 29 Purchase 10 310 3,100
$ 15,040

Answers

Answer:

End inventory = $4,730

Cost of goods sold = $10,310

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided in the attached Microsoft word document before answering the question as follows:

a. Calculation of ending inventory

Number of units of Beginning inventory remaining unsold = 16 - 11 - 3 - 1 = 1 unit

Value of number of units Beginning inventory remaining unsold = 1 * $340 = $340

Number of units June 12 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 - 9 = 1 unit

Value of number of units June 12 Purchase remaining unsold = 1 * $330 = $330

Number of units of June 24 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 - 7 = 3 units

Value of number of June 24 Purchase remaining unsold = 3 * $320 = $960

Value of number of June 29 Purchase remaining unsold = 10 * $310 = $3,100

Therefore, End inventory is the addition of all the values of units remaining unsold as follows:

End inventory = $340 + $330 + $960 + $3,100 = $4,730

b. Calculation of cost of goods sold

June 7 cost of goods sold = 11 * $340 = $3,740

June 15 cost of goods sold = (3 * $340) + (9 * $330) = $3,990

June 27 cost of goods sold = (1 * $340) + (7 * $320) = $2,580

Cost of goods sold can therefore be calculated as follows:

Cost of goods sold = June 7 cost of goods sold + June 15 cost of goods sold + June 27 cost of goods sold = $3,740 + $3,990 + $2,580 = $10,310

A stock has an expected return of 13 percent, the risk-free rate is 4.1 percent, and the market risk premium is 5.3 percent. What is the stock's beta?

Answers

Answer:

Stock Beta = 1.68

Explanation:

The expected return on stock can be estimate using te capital asset pricing model (CAPM).

The capital pricing model establishes the relationship between expected return from a stock and its systematic risk . The systematic risk is that which affects all players (businesses and firms) in the entire market, such risks are occasioned by changes in interest rate, exchange rate e.t.c

According to the model , the expected return is computed as follows

E(r) = Rf + β(Rm-Rf)

Rf- risk -free rate, Rm-Rf - market premium ,  β- beta

DATA:

E(r) = 13%, Rm-Rf = 5.3 , risk-free rate- 4.1%, β?

Applying this model, we have

13% = 4.1% + β× (5.3%)

0.13 = 0.041 + 0.053β

Collecting like terms

0.053β= 0.13 - 0.041

divide both sides by 0.053

β=  (0.13 - 0.041)/0.053

β = 1.679

Stock Beta = 1.68

Neither the payback period nor the accounting rate of return methods of evaluating investments considers the time value of money.
a) True
b) False

Answers

Answer:

The answer is true.

Explanation:

Both of payback period and Accounting Rate of Return do not consider the time value of money. And this is one of the big disadvantages in using these methods as a means of valuating capital project.

While payback period is the length of time it takes a firm to recover the cost of an investment, accounting rate of return is annual return(profit) on investment.

Payback period is only interested in when it will get its Investment back. It ignores the value or time after this investment has been realized.

The annual payment is an annuity and can be found as:

Loan= Annuity x Present value interest factor of annuity, 4%, 2 years

15,000 = Annuity x 1.886

Annuity = 15,000 / 1.886

= $7,953

Principal repaid in first year = Amount paid - interest

= 7,953 - (15,000 x 4%)

=  7,953 - 600

= $7,353

Principal repaid in second year

= 7,953 - (4% x 7,647)

Which of the following is NOT an option for remedying a cost disadvantage associated with activities performed by forward channel allies (wholesale distributors and retail dealers)?

a. Change to a more economical distribution strategy such as putting more emphasis on cheaper distribution channels (perhaps direct sales via the Internet) or perhaps integrating forward into company-owned retail outlets
b. Enhance differentiation through activities such as cooperative advertising) at the forward end of the value chain
c. Pressure distributors/dealers and other forward-channel allies to reduce their costs and markups
d. Insisting on across-the-board cost cuts in all value chain activities—those performed by suppliers, those performed in- house, and those performed by distributors/dealers
e. Collaborate with forward channel allies to identify win-win opportunities to reduce costs

Answers

Answer: d. Insisting on across-the-board cost cuts in all value chain activities—those performed by suppliers, those performed in- house, and those performed by distributors/dealers

Explanation:

The cost disadvantage is from the forward channel allies and not an across the board problem which involves all value chain activities. As such, the solution should be garnered towards the forward channel allies.

Insisting on cuts in areas that could be already functioning efficiently could lead to a loss of that efficiency.

Insisting on across-the-board cost cuts in all value chain activities is therefore not an option for remedying a cost disadvantage associated with activities performed by forward channel allies.

A firm currently sells $1,750,000 annually of an expensive product line. That firm is considering a similar, less expensive, discount line, and projects sales of $380,000. The discount line is expected to reduce sales of the expensive product line to $1,575,000. What is the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line?

Answers

Answer:

$175,000

Explanation:

A firm currently makes an amount of $1,750,000 annually from an expensive product line

The firm projects a sales of $380,000

The discount line is expected to cause a reduction in the sales of the expensive product line to $1,575,000

Therefore, the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line can be calculated as follows

= $1,750,000-$1,575,000

= $175,000

Hence the incremental revenue associated with the discount product line is $175,000

On November 1, Alan Company signed a 120-day, 10% note payable, with a face value of $27,000. What is the maturity value of the note on March 1

Answers

Answer: $27,900

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that on November 1, Alan Company signed a 120-day, 10% note payable, with a face value of $27,000.

The maturity value of the note on the note on March 1 will be the face value plus the interest. This will be:

= $27,000 + [($27,000 × 10%)/360 × 120]

= $27,000 + [($2700/360) × 120]

= $27,000 + ($7.5 × 120)

= $27,000 + $900

= $27,900

Exercise D Viking Corporation is operating at 80% of capacity, which means it produces 8,000 units. Variable cost is $100 per unit. Wholesaler Y offers to buy 2,000 additional units at $120 per unit. Wholesaler Z proposes to buy 1,500 additional units at $140 per unit. Which offer, if either, should Viking Corporation accept

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The variable cost is $100 per unit.

Wholesaler Y offers to buy 2,000 additional units at $120 per unit.

Wholesaler Z proposes to buy 1,500 additional units at $140 per unit.

We need to choose the best alternative, in this case, the one with the higher increase in income:

Effect on income= total contribution margin

Wholesaler Y:

Effect on income= 2,000*(120 - 100)= $40,000 increase

Wholesaler Z:

Effect on income= 1,500*(140 - 100)= $60,000 increase

The best option is to sell the units to Wholesaler Z. If Wholesaler Y accepts, you can still sell 500 more units.

Answers

Answer:

The YTM on January 1, 1985 was 6.00%.

Explanation:

The YTM is the interest rate used to determine the Present Value of Coupons and Principle and can be found as follows :

PV = $1,000

Pmt = ($1,000 × 12 %) / 2 = - $60

P/yr = 1

n = 30 × 2 = 60

Fv = - $1,000

YTM = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, the YTM is 6.00%

Therefore, the YTM on January 1, 1985 was 6.00%.

Answers

Answer: . an increase in aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that during the 1990s, the economy of the United States was experiencing long-run economic growth, low unemployment, and a stable inflation rate.

The reason for this is due to an increase in aggregate demand and short-run aggregate supply. This two factors will lead to the long run economic growth which the United States experienced.

In his work, he argued that an economy regulated itself through the interaction of supply and demand and, therefore, was best left alone. He did not think the government should have a large active role in controlling the economy. Because of this, he believed in taxation at the minimum needed to support the operation of government, and thought the amount should be based on a persons ability to pay. He supported free trade between nations, again believing that the market forces of supply and demand would contribute to the production of high quality goods and services at reasonable prices. He believed that individuals as consumers and business owners ought to be the ones answering the basic economic questions of what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce. Second Person: Karl Marx Karl Marx was German, lived from 18181883, and authored many works. Probably the most significant for economics students is Das Kapital (Capital, in English). Marx wrote in response to the change from a primarily agrarian economy to an industrial economy. He was concerned that this change created tension between groups of people, most notably factory owners and workers. He believed this tension, made worse by the seeking of profits by company owners, would result in economic collapse. He saw the natural next step as government control of the economy to prevent wide variation in the income of people, as well as to keep the prices of goods and services balanced. He thought of personal property as theft. In his mind, the government should provide the answers to the basic economic questions of what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce. Third Person: John Maynard Keynes John Maynard Keynes was British and lived from 18831946. He authored several works but his most significant, especially to economics students, is his General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money. The way we divide the study of economics into macroeconomics and microeconomics can be traced to him. He believed in capitalismthat individuals should answer the basic economic questions of what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce. However, he believed that a capitalist system could be most efficient and protected from the negative consequences of major booms and busts through the government. His influence on society is most notable in the years following the Great Depression. The British and United States governments followed his recommendations of government spending, even putting themselves in debt, in order to stimulate the economy and get it back on track.
